‘Torsion Spring’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
RDP develops spring return LVDTs from
RDP Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "RDP Electronics has announced the availability of special spring return LVDTs for applications such as measuring rapidly moving targets. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Mayr celebrates 10 years of Smartflex couplings from
Mayr Transmissions: "Backlash-free shaft misalignment compensation couplings from the Smartflex series feature a direct clamping system for the flexible steel bellows. ".
In November 2008, we covered the news from PVL
- take a look at PVL has Honsberg HD2K flow switch
which says: "Pressure Vacuum Level is offering the Honsberg HD2K flow switch for oil or water-based applications in a wide variety of temperatures and viscosity conditions. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Beko Technologies, Beko expands its HQ facility,
as well as Turck has inclinometer sensor for tilt control from Turck,
and Mayr drives backlash-free torque transmission from Mayr Transmissions.
